Learn All Summer at the Library

H

elloooo, summer! School’s out and the pace of life slows just a bit…or maybe not? This summer, keep the whole family learning at Plano Public Library. Find opportunities galore to explore, consider, wonder and engage. For classes, programs, creativity and more, the library is the place for you! Spark curiosity by checking out a STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math) kit or attend a robotics program. Explore a new language with bilingual backpacks, our Pronunciator app, or at a session of Storytime Around the World. Keep up with the digital age in our Digital Creation Space, or with 3D printing. We make learning fun! Plano Public Library is Thinking Money! What’s in your future? Prepare financially to turn your dreams into reality. Haggard Library hosts the nationally-touring Thinking Money exhibition throughout June. Find a variety of financial education programs going on in June, and Math Mania provides fun with numbers all summer for increased brain activity. Download the library mobile app and take learning with you on vacation! Find eBooks and eMagazines, Kanopy movie streaming, and language learning all through your phone or tablet. No WiFi? No problem! Check out a Playaway or Launchpad to bring audio books and learning games with you on the go. Rolling out this summer, #morethanbooks (our new Friends funded outreach van) will be traveling all summer delivering classes, library resources, materials and training throughout the City of Plano. We can roll up to almost any location and create new library cards, demonstrate learning tools and deliver classes and programs. Equipped with WiFi, a television and a variety of technology tools, #morethanbooks brings you learning programs on the go. From local festivals and events to nonprofit and City functions, visits from #morethanbooks extend service excellence to the community. We can’t wait to spend our summer days with you learning about art, science, technology and enhancing literacy skills at the library!

The goal is to read 1,000 books (yes, you can repeat books) before your child starts kindergarten. Reading regularly with young children stimulates development and strengthens parent-child relationships to build language, literacy and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime

Read 1000 Books – Receive a Prize Track your books any way you want – pick up a paper log at the library or use the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten app. When your child reaches a milestone (100, 200, 300 books, etc.) come to the library to get a sticker and take a photo with us. At 1000 books, your child receives a certificate and special recognition on our wall of fame Engage – JUNE ‌| JULY ‌| AUGUST 2018 11
